The book treats probability and statistics as mathematical disciplines and with the same degree of rigour as is adopted for other branches of applied mathematics at the level of a British honours degree. They contain the minimum information about these subjects that any honours graduate in mathematics ought to know. They are written primarily for general mathematicians, rather than for statistical specialists or for natural scientists who need to use statistics. No previous knowledge of probability or statistics is assumed, though familiarity with calculus and linear algebra is required.
Classic analysis of the subject and the development of personal probability; one of the greatest controversies in modern statistcal thought. New preface and new footnotes to 1954 edition, with a supplementary 180-item annotated bibliography by author. Calculus, probability, statistics and Boolean algebra are recommended.

Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Probability
Schaum's Outline of Probability, Second Edition, focuses on non-calculus probability theory, making it ideal for humanities and science majors who study practical statistics for problem solving. This popular Schaum's study guide provides new material on descriptive statistics, hi-square distribution, and more.
This is an excellent new text, which meets the A-level requirements of Statistics as a subject in its own right and as a part of Mathematics. It is also a very thorough introduction to the subject for students in higher education who need a grounding in Statistics related to other disciplines. The book is written in a friendly style, with lively text, interesting contexts, and potted biographies of significant mathematicians. It includes a huge number of worked examples and exercises, and over 80 projects, which give students the confidence to put theory into practice.
